3-Methyl-1-(4-sulfophenyl)-2-pyrazolin-5-one acts as a reagent for the identification of sulfonic acids as efficient ecto-5'-nucleotidase inhibitors. Ecto-5'-nucleotidase inhibition is thought to provide an attractive approach to cancer therapy.
1-(4-Sulfophenyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (4-(3-methyl-5-oxo-2-pyrazolin-1-yl) benzoic acid) was used for pre-column derivatization of carbohydrates. It was also used as derivatization reagent in determination of oligosides, mannose and galactose obtained by degradation of galactomannans.
ChEBI: 4-(3-Methyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzenesulfonic acid is an organosulfur compound and a sulfonic acid derivative.
